Corporate social impact is of increasing interest because many organizations are moving from a profit-only outlook to a model of social responsibility. Students in this course are immersed in the ways business operates in a global environment, which provides the opportunity to widen professional perspectives. Students engage in variety of writing and creative assignments while exploring a variety of topics, such as supply chain management, process management, quality, innovation, and forecasting. Integrating professional practice at the doctoral level, they employ critical-thinking skills to analyze decision-making motives and techniques in a global operations environment.
